Language Translations not working in Bookworm

Question

I have followed the instructions at the Elementary Getting Started (Translations) to set up the translations and I have a few translated languages including French in the po directory (fr.po). I can also see the file /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/bookworm.mo is present. However when I run Bookworm with:

LANGUAGE=fr bookworm

I dont see the translated strings in french. Only the About Dialog has the translations showing up. Using the same command with Noise works great and I have compared the translations and CMakeLists for Noise but could not find any differences.

The bookworm code is on GitHub for anyone wanting to take a look at the CMakeFiles.txt. Appreciate any pointers on what I may be doing wrong in the code for the translated strings not working.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

This issue was due to a line in the code pointing at a wrong place for the translations:

Intl.bindtextdomain(GETTEXT_PACKAGE, "./locale");

Many thanks to Corentin Noel for spotting the issue.
